Where would we be without Stand by Me?

And, one of those films is the 1986 classic Stand by Me, a film that created the modern pop culture world in more ways than one.
To this day, even as we’re constantly inundated with new Stephen King adaptations, Stand by Me remains a perfect King film, and in retrospect serves as a flashpoint of the modern era.
